Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"Why were you summoned back to the capital by the imperial edict?" Qin Zhaoning paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

Wen Qing, on the other hand, sat calmly aside drinking tea.

"Don't panic, Your Highness. This matter has nothing to do with you." Wen Qing said.

"What do you mean it doesn't involve me? I'm a prince, of course I'm not afraid of these!" Qin Zhaoning grabbed Wen Qing's shoulders and said, "But you! How did you meet the prince? How did you get together with Tang Wuling? Isn't he the emperor's man?"

"I went to investigate the assassination of the crown prince. What's so strange about meeting Qin Zhaoyue?" Wen Qing raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently, "Tang Wuling is certainly not the emperor's man. Otherwise, he would not have been sent back to the capital with me, nor would he have been confined to his house."

"What's with that expression on your face? You're a commoner. If our father catches you with something, you'll be finished!" Qin Zhaoning was anxious and shook him hard.

"Are you worried about me?" Wen Qing smiled.

"Of course! You are the only strategist I can use." Qin Zhaoning looked at him strangely, and finally stopped shaking. "Isn't Tang Wuling the emperor's man? He is the second in command of the Hidden Dragon Guard. Who can poach him? Do you want to live?"

"Don't let Liu Fei hear you saying this, he's going to bully me again." Wen Qing put his hands in his sleeves and looked away, not intending to answer the question.

"You still have time to care about his business!" Qin Zhaoning was furious.

The not-so-smart Third Prince sat aside and thought for a moment: "Did you do something else without telling me?"

"What do you think, Your Highness?" Wen Qing glanced at him.

"The imperial edict says that you and Tang Wuling were involved in a case of treason by a Hu merchant. What is the relationship between this Hu merchant and Qin Zhaoyue? Didn't he come to help when he saw injustice?" Qin Zhaoning looked at him suspiciously, "You are not in cahoots with that Tang Wuling, are you?"

"Your Highness is a little smarter, but not smart enough." Wen Qing smiled calmly, "Next time, if you have doubts about someone, don't say it to their face, otherwise you will be easily killed on the spot."

"You are different from others! Tell me quickly, have you investigated anything else?" Qin Zhaoning was not scared by his words at all.

Wen Qing was silent.

The assassination of Qin Zhaoyue was neither arranged by Qin Zhaoning nor the work of the master behind him. In the entire game field, Qin Zhaoyue and Qin Zhaoning were in the open, and the master was in the dark, but there were several forces hidden deeper in the water that had not revealed their whereabouts.

But what was he doing it for?

He wanted to kill Qin Zhaoyue, but he didn't kill him, and even allowed him to be rescued by someone.

Now, even the two men are still alive, but they are almost useless. It is more like some kind of revenge than to say that there is some kind of plan.

For no reason, the man named Gu Dashi appeared in Wen Qing's mind.

The investigation reported back from below has made it very clear that Gu Dashi is a rogue who has been hanging around in casinos for many years. He has only recently become diligent and earned some money through the connections of his relatives.

The Cheng Marquis Mansion, which was related to it, was also investigated thoroughly. It was just an ordinary, fallen marquis. The marquis loved to eat and ran a restaurant.

The feeling of disharmony lingered in Wen Qing's heart.

"Speak!" Qin Zhaoning reached out to pinch his face, but Wen Qing dodged it and slapped him on the back of his hand instead.

"The forces behind this are complicated and intertwined. Your Highness should keep quiet to avoid worrying too much and getting a headache," Wen Qing said.

"Peace?! How can I be at peace!" Qin Zhaoning yelled, "I have been at odds with Qin Zhaoyue for a long time, how can I turn back now? He is a petty person who will never let go of any grudge, no one knows him better than me!"

"Your Highness, be steady." Wen Qing glanced at him.

Qin Zhaoning was deflated and slumped in the recliner.

"Don't worry. I'll find a way." Wen Qing said.

"What can I do?" Qin Zhaoning leaned over half of his body, "Hey! You won't hurt me, will you? I have given you my full trust, please don't cheat on me."

"I have no intention of getting married yet. Even if I do, it cannot be called cheating." Wen Qing said.

Without waiting for Qin Zhaoning to speak, he raised his finger to block the Third Prince's mouth: "Your Highness, please order me to be confined to my room for three months and have me beaten. Your Highness, you can go to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother."

"What? Why should I hit you?" Qin Zhaoning was stunned. "Father didn't punish you for anything, why should I hit you?"

"...Don't ask. Hurry up and make arrangements. Remember to tell your servants to be gentle." Wen Qing said, and shouted outside: "Someone come!"

Qin Zhaoning's servant came into the room.

Qin Zhaoning glared at Wen Qing.

"Since Your Highness does not trust me, then please go ahead." Wen Qing said calmly, with his hands behind his back.

……

Gu Yue's fried chicken business is booming.

He changed the name of the fried chicken stall to Zhengcai Jinji, and painted four big, shining characters with gold paint and hung them under the roof of the stall.

They also asked a silk flower craftswoman in the town to make some golden flowers and tied them to the four pillars. The whole car was then painted with gold paint, which made it look magnificent and luxurious.

When you push a car like this onto the street, it will attract a lot of attention.

The gold paint was provided by Hele Youyi, but it also cost three taels of silver. In those days, making gold paint required grinding gold, which was not easy at all.

But the effect was really good. Because of the golden paint and the auspicious name on the stall, Gu Yue's fried chicken business became very popular, and people lined up every day.

Gu Yue also thought of a dirty trick.

He privately inquired in Liuli Town and selected the three most gossipy contestants in the entire town - Aunt Huang at the east end of the town, Brother Liu who sold sesame cakes on the streets, and Li Xiaowu, a idle gangster who liked to hang out in teahouses and listen to people talking, as the targets of his next plan.

The details of the plan are...

"You don't even know the origins of the owner of Jinpai!" Wuhuo, who was disguised as an ordinary citizen and wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, squatted and chatted with Wufeng, who was also dressed as a civilian.

Brother Liu, who was selling sesame cakes, happened to pass by with an empty carrying pole.

"Who is he? Isn't he just a chicken seller?" Wu Feng's tone was full of disdain.

"Which master would boast about his abilities? Especially Boss Gu, a master who lives in seclusion and doesn't want you mortals to know his identity!"

What kind of hidden master? Brother Liu couldn't help but slow down his pace. At this moment, there was no concept of rumor-mongering, and everyone just listened to the gossip.

"What hidden master?" Wu Feng raised his voice in cooperation.

"Shh! Keep your voice down. If someone hears us, we won't gain any benefit." Wu Huo lowered his voice, and the two of them glanced in Liu Erge's direction.

Brother Liu dodged subconsciously.

Wuhuo and Wufeng hid behind the corner of the wall.

Liu Erge was so curious that he dropped his carrying pole on the ground and tiptoed towards the wall.

"What?! The last disciple taught directly by Master Zhang?!" Wu Feng's low exclamation came from the other side of the wall.

"If my relative who studies Taoism in Xianfeng Mountain hadn't come here a few days ago, I wouldn't have known that Master Gu was here!" Wu Huo said.

"Then what does this have to do with us? What benefits did you just mention?" Wu Feng asked in confusion.

Brother Liu also wants to know!
